You walk so proud
But the pride flows through you
From your company
So world renowned
This romance born of hard times
Across the sea
And I'm lonely

I set myself up for this fall
By letting myself think that nothing could go wrong
In one hand my signal flare
To help you see that I'm still here
It's getting hard to take this on my own

Through thick and thin
You said you'd be there solely watching me
It sucked you in
Left you bound by your own hand
We approach a crossroad once again
You deviate from me

I set myself up for this fall
By letting myself think that nothing could go wrong
In one hand my burning cross
An 'x' to mark where I got lost
I just can't take this on my own

So what was to gain
From assuring a life that you had in the palm of your hand?
Did things slip away?
Were they more valued that what
Is escaping because of these plans?
You said things would change
But in the end it will be pointless
She always had a hold on your time
And it drives me insane
Knowing we got so close
Now I'm back in that place once again

I set myself up for this fall
By letting myself think that nothing could go wrong
In one hand my signal flare
To help you see that I'm still here
In one hand my burning cross
An 'x' to mark where I got lost
I'm giving up
I feel alone

I feel alone
